Our Calling
Ascend equips children to discover and grow their unique God-given talents and gifts to impact the world.
Because the world needs them.
Our Mission
We believe each person who enters our doors deserves to find a calling to change the world.
“I am confident that any randomly-selected ten-year-old from Acton would have succeeded instantly where at least some MIT graduates failed.”
Learner-driven communities run by heroes-in-the making
Self-management and self-governance are celebrated daily by learners who use 21st Century skills to tackle real world projects, inspired by classic heroes in a tightly bound community with extremely high standards.
The most amazing outcome at Acton is that young heroes there are genuinely enthralled with learning. Simply said, they LOVE school.
